rl-15 did very well, and rl-17 did ok, but i think it is just a bit slow for use in a 308.

41.5 gr of IMR 4895 behind a Sierra 168 MK is virtually the traditional .308 gas rifle go to load. In my DPMS LR 308B it shoots well under 1 moa. It is also the load used by an awful lot of other folks shooting 308 gas rifles.

thanks for the responses. What about the range of bullet weights that will shoot well in that barrel? I've been reloading .223 for a few years, but .308 is new to me.

my ar in 308 is a 10-twist and i run 175's.

you can probably run about whatever weight you want - just depends on what your goal is.
